- Regulators decide they want the tech in all cars so as soon as people go 35 in a 30 the speeding ticket is texted right to the company.
  Cops will be pissed though. And insurance companies.
The service is now limited to invited users, who agree to the terms of Tesla’s “early access program.” Those who have received invites are mostly promoters of Tesla’s products, stock and CEO.
"We only want sycophants talking about our bullshit service."
Well guess what? The rest of us can see the cars from the outside. Fail.
What does this have to do with politics?
Musk is a train wreck that was briefly engaged in destroying the public service in the US. That doesn't mean that everything tangentially associated any company associated with him is politics.
- Except this time the regulatory body was also affected
  DOGE fired about 30 members of the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in February, and many of them were part of a department that assesses the risks of self-driving cars
  
  Sure so maybe /c/regulatorybodies then.
- They’re a danger to the public that needs to be banned, how is it not political?
  
  That's a pretty thin connection. If that's the requirement, more or less everything political.
  There is no law banning dog walking, therefore any discussion about dogs is political!
